Summary

Asa Hilliard Elementary School in East Point, GA, serves approximately 474 students in grades PK through 5 as part of Fulton County Schools, and has shown remarkable progress in recent years, climbing from the bottom 5% of Georgia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to the 42nd percentile (2-star rating) in 2025-2026.

The school's most impressive achievement is its 5th grade science performance: 58.3% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, which beats the district average (55.8%) and exceeds the state average (44.2%) by a wide margin. This represents a dramatic jump from the prior year's 31.9% proficiency rate. Asa Hilliard also made significant strides in mathematics, with 3rd grade math proficiency more than doubling from 13.4% to 36.1% and 5th grade math jumping from 8.3% to 35.4% year-over-year. The school has also cut chronic absenteeism by more than half since 2021-2022, dropping from 46.1% to 19.0%—a rate that in 2024-2025 actually fell below both district and state averages. While math scores still trail district averages, the overall trajectory is clearly upward, and the school now outperforms all four of its nearest Fulton County neighbors in state ranking, including Main Street Charter Academy (29th percentile), Brookview Elementary School (22nd percentile), Conley Hills Elementary School (17th percentile), and College Park Elementary (12th percentile).

With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.2:1 and per-student spending of $21,880, the school serves a student body where 100% qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school's science scores are dramatically higher than nearby schools—the next closest is Brookview at 33.3%—making Asa Hilliard a standout among its geographic peers. While 4th grade math dipped slightly (from 29.0% to 22.0%), the school's sustained improvement across multiple measures suggests systemic progress rather than a one-year fluke. For parents considering this school, the combination of rising test scores, improved attendance, and strong science instruction makes Asa Hilliard a compelling option in the East Point area.
